Why New Land Farmers Need A Super Bounty, Edgar Noel Fitzpatrick
Why New Land Farmers Need A Super Bounty, Edgar Noel Fitzpatrick
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Development of farming land in Western A ustralia's agricultural areas requires the application of large amounts of superphosphate. Since 1963, the Phosphate Fertiliser Bounty applied to superphosphate manufacture has ensured that this superphosphate has been available to farmers at reasonable cost and has helped to make new land development economically worth while.
Originally applied as an incentive to agricultural development, the bounty is now to be withdrawn and it is feared that the resulting increase in the cost of superphosphate will retard development of many West Australian farms and reduce many farm incomes to an unsatisfactory level.
These effects will …

Quarantine : Two New Inspection Centres Built, C R. Chambers
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
A BIGGER population, a busier State; more travellers, more goods from more places; faster, more frequent transport—these things have demanded for Western Australia greater efforts to protect its primary industries from the chance introduction of disease and pests which could attack our plants and animals.
The Outlook For Barley, P J. Hackett, E. J. O'Loughlin
The Outlook For Barley, P J. Hackett, E. J. O'Loughlin
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
World production of barley in 1968 was 4,107 million bushels—an increase of 7 per cent, on the previous year.
Further increases are estimated for the 1969 season, especially in Canada and France. World production is expected to be 3 per cent, higher than in 1968.

West Midlands Development : The Economics Of New Land Development, I J. Moncrieff
West Midlands Development : The Economics Of New Land Development, I J. Moncrieff
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
THE economics of new land development cannot really be separated from the financial aspects.
However, financing development is such a personal business that for general advisory purposes the distinction must be made.
For this reason, the article which follows largely avoids the financial side and is devoted to a consideration of some of the economic factors involved in the development of new land in this area.
Agriculture In Western Australia. 3. The Economic Potential Of The Wongan-Ballidu Shire. Part 1, G D. Oliver, A. W. Hogstrom
Agriculture In Western Australia. 3. The Economic Potential Of The Wongan-Ballidu Shire. Part 1, G D. Oliver, A. W. Hogstrom
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
IN West Australian agriculture there is a considerable "backlog" of information available to farmers which is not being used in practical farming. This, of course, is true of agricultural industries anywhere in the world.
This "backlog" results in a big difference in productivity between the best farms and the "average" farms in each district.
This article is a simple economic study of the potential of one shire of Western Australia.

The Economic Potential Of The Wongan-Ballidu Shire. Part 2. Costs And Returns, G D. Oliver, A. W. Hogstrom
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
THE potential of the Wongan-Ballidu Shire to produce increased quantities of grain, wool, sheep and meat up to the year 2,000 was estimated and discussed in the first part of this article (see last issue).
In this second and final part the financial returns likely to accrue to the shire and the individual farmers as a result of these increases are discussed.

The 1964 Ord River Cotton Crop, G D. Oliver, A. W. Hogstrom
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
IN November-December, 1963, the first five farmers allocated land in the Ord River Irrigation Area planted their first crop of cotton, which is expected to be the major crop grown in the area.
The crop was harvested in May-June, 1964, and has since been sold.

Agriculture In Western Australia, A W. Hogstrom
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
A review of the development of agriculture in Western Australia with an outline of the distribution and importance of present agricultural and pastoral enterprises.
WESTERN Australia's economy has always been largely dominated by its pastoral and agricultural activities.
For short periods gold has given greater annual returns than the products of farms and stations, but these periods have never been very long.
Only in recent years has the value of factory production equalled that of our stations and farms.
